Бей-Милс

Бей-Милс (англ. Bay Mills Reservation, англ. Bay Mills Indian Community) — индейская резервация народа оджибве, расположенная в северной части штата Мичиган, США. История Многочисленные группы народа оджибве исторически занимали территорию по обеим берегам реки Сент-Мэрис. В колониальную эпоху на этих землях был основан торговый пост, вокруг которого постепенно сформировалось оседлое сообщество, космополитичное по своему разнообразию культур коренных народов, метисов, а также французов и англоязычных европейцев. По окончании Англо-американской войны была урегулирована граница Соединённых Штатов с Британской Канадой и южная часть региона, включая Верхний полуостров Мичигана и остров Шугар, стала частью Территории Мичиган. В 1815 году оджибве уступили большую часть своих земель в Мичигане. Позднее индейцы потеряли ещё часть своей территории в основном из-за спекуляций и мошенничества евроамериканских торговцев. Договор 1842 года, по которому оджибве уступили земли американскому правительству, был одним из крупнейших соглашений об уступке земель, когда-либо заключенных между федеральным правительством США и индейскими племенами. Согласно этому договору коренные народы сохраняли свои права на рыбную ловлю, охоту и собирательство на этих уступленных землях. В 1850 году была создана индейская резервация Бей-Милс. География Бей-Милс состоит из нескольких несмежных участков, расположенных в округе Чиппева. Большая часть резервации находится к северо-западу от Бримли и на территории тауншипов Бей-Милс и Сьюпириор. Оставшиеся 2,674 км² расположены на острове Шугар. Общая площадь резервации, включая трастовые земли (0,088 км²), составляет 14,545 км², из них 14,254 км² приходится на сушу и 0,291 км² — на воду. Штаб-квартирой племени является невключённая территория и статистически обособленная местность Бримли. Демография По данным федеральной переписи населения 2010 года, в резервации проживало 1 014 человек. Согласно федеральной переписи населения 2020 года в резервации проживало 1 032 человека, насчитывалось 342 домохозяйства и 407 жилых дома. Средний возраст, проживающих в Бей-Милс, составлял 25,8 лет. Доход среднего домохозяйства в индейской резервации составлял 55 568 долларов США. Около 23,4 % всего населения находились за чертой бедности, в том числе 40,9 % тех, кому ещё не исполнилось 18 лет, и 2,3 % старше 65 лет. Расовый состав распределился следующим образом: белые — 149 чел., афроамериканцы — 5 чел., коренные американцы (индейцы США) — 762 чел., азиаты — 1 чел., океанийцы — 0 чел., представители других рас — 3 чел., представители двух или более рас — 112 человек; испаноязычные или латиноамериканцы любой расы составили 17 человек. Плотность населения составляла 70,95 чел./км². Комментарии Примечания Литература Pritzker, Barry M.

McKinley Elementary School (Wyandotte, Michigan)

McKinley Elementary School is a former school building located at 640 Plum Street in Wyandotte, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. History The first school building in what is now Wyandotte was constructed in 1837. A new school as constructed in 1856, and a Central Union high school was built in 1869. The first school on the site of the present McKinley Elementary School was constructed in 1872, and was known as the Third Ward school. This school was demolished in 1901, and replaced with a new building designed by Malcomson and Higginbotham, and named McKinley Elementary School. By 1937, this was the oldest elementary school in the district, and the school board began considering replacing it. After exploring funding sources, the board finally approved construction of a new building in late 1938. The school district hired architect Carl R. Jensen of Detroit to design the building, and the O.W. Burke Company to construct it. The school opened in March 1940. The school continued in use until 2009, when declining enrollment led the school board to close it. As of 2017, the building is being rehabilitated for housing. Coachlight Properties LLC and Jonesboro Investment Corp. will redevelop the building into 60 market-rate senior apartments. Description McKinley Elementary School is a two-story Art deco-style building faced with multi-tone orange brick. the front facade has a raised foundation clad with limestone. It is divided into three main sections: an auditorium in the center and the east and west wings. The central auditorium section is six bays wide, and projects forward from the wings. Six limestone-framed openings in the central section extend two stories above the foundation. Each side wing is eight bays wide, and has a one-story-tall projecting limestone porch entrance abutting the auditorium. The porches shelter a recessed entrance. Above each entrance are three narrow window openings separated by square brick piers topped with limestone. The next four bays of the wings are separated by brick piers and have a set of four windows at the first and second floors. Each bay has a limestone cornice running across the top. The three end bays project slightly, and contain two-story openings framed with limestone, containing windows. The interior of the building has corridors with terrazzo floors and glazed tile wainscoting with plaster walls above. Inset in the floors on the first story are four medallions designed by Fred Frostic, superintendent of Wyandotte Public Schools at the time the school was built, and his daughter Gwen Frostic. The staircases to the upper floor are metal with terrazzo treads and metal balustrades. Classrooms generally have vinyl tile floors, plaster walls with wood trim, and bulletin and marker boards framed with wood. The kindergarten room has a fireplace surrounded with decorative tile featuring nursery rhyme characters and animals. The school also has an auditorium and gymnasium. References
Beaver Island Harbor Light

Beaver Island Harbor Light (or St. James Light) is a lighthouse located in St. James, Michigan, on the northern end of Beaver Island on Lake Michigan. It has also been called "St. James Harbor Light" and "Whiskey Point Light". It is associated with a U.S. Coast Guard station, which was formerly a lifesaving station. The tower is constructed of Cream City Brick. Whiskey Point was originally named for the 1838 fur trading post that operated on the point, and for the commodity that was the post's chief item of sale. Soon afterward in the 1850s, St. James's Harbor on Beaver Island became established as a safe haven in a storm (an event quite common on Lake Michigan). The light was thus a natural extension of the emergency usage. The original light was constructed in 1856, and the light currently in use was constructed in 1870. At this time, the harbor is used by the Beaver Island ferry, so the light is still an active aid to navigation.

Phare du port de l'île Beaver

Le phare du port de l'île Beaver (en anglais : Beaver Island Harbor Light), est un phare du lac Michigan, situé à St. James sur l'île Beaver dans le Comté de Charlevoix, Michigan. Il se trouve sur le terrain de la station de la garde côtière qui était autrefois une station de sauvetage. Historique Le phare porte aussi le nom de phare de St. James ou phare de Whiskey Point. Il a été érigé à l'extrémité nord de l'île. Whiskey Point a été initialement nommé pour le poste de traite des fourrures de 1838 qui fonctionnait sur cette pointe, et pour la marchandise qui était le principal article de vente du poste. Peu de temps après, dans les années 1850, le port de St. James est devenu un refuge sûr lors des tempêtes, événement assez courant sur le lac Michigan. Le phare d'origine a été construit en 1856, et l'actuel en 1870. Le port est toujours utilisé par le traversier de l'île Beaver, de sorte que le feu reste une aide active à la navigation. Le phare est devenu la propriété du canton de St. James et a subi une restauration. La tour est ouverte occasionnellement à la visite en saison. Description Le phare est une tour cylindrique en brique, avec galerie et lanterne de 12 m de haut. La tour est peinte en blanc et la lanterne est noire. Son feu isophase émet, à une hauteur focale de 13 m, un lumière rouge de 3 secondes par période de 6 secondes. Sa portée est de 10 milles nautiques (environ 19 km) Caractéristiques du feu maritime Fréquence : 6 secondes (R) Lumière : 3 secondes Obscurité : 3 secondes Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-047 ; USCG : 7-17845.

SS Amasa Stone

SS Amasa Stone was a 545-foot (166 m) Great Lakes freighter that was sunk as a breakwater in 1965, Charlevoix, Michigan. She was built for the Mesaba Steamship Company by the Detroit Shipbuilding Company of Wyandotte, Michigan. She was launched on March 25, 1905, as hull #158. She was powered by an 1,800-horsepower (1,300 kW) triple expansion steam engine and two scotch marine boilers. History On June 18, 1905 Amasa Stone was downbound with a cargo of iron ore bound from Duluth, Minnesota, to Lake Erie when she rammed and sank the steamer Etruria in heavy fog. Etruria was upbound with coal from Toledo, Ohio, for Superior, Wisconsin. The collision occurred about ten miles (16 km) off Presque Isle Light on Lake Huron. Amasa Stone punched a hole in starboard side abreast of the ninth cargo hatch; crew members of Etruria were rescued from lifeboats by the steamer Maritana. Amasa Stone was traveling at full speed at the time of the collision. In 1913 Amasa Stone was merged in the fleet owned by Interlake Steamship Company. On July 24, 1924 Amasa Stone collided with steamer Merton E. Farr in fog off Ile Parisienne, Lake Superior; the amount of money it cost to repair the damage was $7,000. On October 22, 1929, the Stone made it through the same storm that sank the train ferry Milwaukee; the Stone was downbound with 10,000 tons of coal for Ludington, Michigan, at the time of the sinking. On July 29, 1930 Amasa Stone rescued 6 of the 21 crew members from the sandsucker George J. Whelan which capsized in heavy seas on Lake Erie, about six miles (9.7 km) north of Dunkirk, New York. In 1938 she had new boilers installed. In 1952 she was re-powered with a 1,800 horsepower, 5-cylinder Skinner uniflow engine. Breakwater in Charlevoix Amasa Stone made her last trip in 1959 and in 1960 was decommissioned and laid up. In 1964 she was sold to the Marine Salvage Ltd. of Port Colborne, Ontario, and in 1965 sold on to the Medusa Portland Cement Company of Charlevoix, Michigan, where, joined by the steamer Charles S. Hebard, she would function as a dock and breakwater. Both ships were stripped down to their hulls and sunk at the port entrance in Charlevoix, where they remain to this day. References
Elm Lawn Cemetery

Elm Lawn Cemetery is a cemetery located at 300 Ridge Road in Bay City, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. History By the late 1880s, the cemeteries already established in Bay City were becoming filled. In 1890, a group of Bay City businessmen formed an association for the purpose of establishing a new cemetery. Property was acquired, and by early 1891, landscape architect Mason L. Brown of Detroit had nearly completed a plan of the grounds. Work on the grounds started in the spring. By October 1891, work had proceeded far enough that the first interment took place. Pratt & Koeppe of Bay City designed the gatehouse and chapel, and work on these structures began in late 1891 and was completed in 1892. Although some grading of the site was left, the construction work was essentially complete at the end of 1892. After the main construction was completed, the landscaping was installed, with the trees already on the site supplemented with other plantings. As the cemetery became more popular, families with means began constructing mausoleums on the site, with the first one installed by the family of John F. Eddy in 1899, and the last by the Van Haaren family in 1948. The cemetery is still active and approximately forty burials are performed annually. As of 2018, the cemetery is owned by the Midwest Memorial Group. Description The cemetery covers 60 acres of flat terrain, with a central access roadway and curving roads to either side. There are about 13,000 burials in the cemetery, with space for about 5000 more. The foliage on site includes a large variety of shade trees (beech, cedar, maple, oak and pine) along various ornamental trees and shrubs, including catalpa, hawthorn, purple plum, redbud, lilac, sandcherry, spirea and dogwood. The earliest burials are in the rear section of the cemetery, and many sections along the front remain undeveloped today. A number of mausoleums dot the cemetery The entrance to the cemetery is through an arched stone gateway with attached gatehouse. The structure has a Richardsonian Romanesque feel and is 18 by 22 feet with a small tower extending above the roofline. The gatehouse building contains two rooms: A main room, used as the cemetery office, and a small bathroom. The attached gateway extends 47 feet and in 35 feet high. A Richardsonian Romanesque chapel is also on the grounds. The chapel is a one-story buff sandstone structure approximately thirty feet square, with a hip roof clad in slate. A series of steps leads upward to the entrance. The chapel inside contains eight oak pews, four to a side around a center aisle. The basement contains a vault. References
Beaver Islands State Wildlife Research Area

The Beaver Islands State Wildlife Research Area is a networked set of insular properties of the U.S. state of Michigan. The Research Area is approximately 23,154 acres in size. Properties in the Research Area include much of the southern half of Beaver Island, almost all of Garden Island, all of High Island, all of Hog Island, all of North Fox Island, and most of the northern half of South Fox Island. All of these islands are located in Lake Michigan. The insular research area is overseen by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Description The Research Area properties is primarily made up of lands that were either never patented for settlement, or were logged off and then allowed to revert to the state of Michigan in lieu of unpaid property taxes. Approximately 55% of the Research Area by land extent is located on the largest of the islands, Beaver Island, and almost 20% on the second largest island, Garden Island. The remaining one-quarter of the Research Area is distributed among the largest four remaining islands of northern Lake Michigan. The Research Area cooperates with a federal unit, the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, which controls a separate set of four much smaller islands within the same archipelago. The Research Area is a place for the study of shoreline animal, bird, and plant life. The Michigan DNR manages the northern four islands of the Research area, located in Charlevoix County, from a full-time staffed office in Gaylord, Michigan. Properties on the two southern Fox Islands, located in Leelanau County, are managed from a staffed office in Cadillac, Michigan. The Research Area hosts field studies on biology and ecology. As is shown by the name of Hog Island, the islands have been and continue to be altered by human life and use. Hunting, fishing, boating, and camping are allowed subject to state laws and regulations. There is, however, no regularly scheduled passenger service to any of these islands except Beaver Island, and several of the islands within the Research Area are very infrequently visited as of 2022.

Hance House (Olivet, Michigan)

The Hance House is a private house located at 217 Yale Street in Olivet, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. History Myram H. Hance arrived in Michigan from New York state in 1843. He was a businessman, and served in the Civil War. In 1884, he moved to Olivet, supposedly so that his children could attend Olivet College. Once in Olivet, he became involved in the manufacture of boots and shoes, and constructed this house for his family. The house was acquired by Olivet College in 1934. The college used it variously as the president's residence, a fraternity house, a dormitory, a faculty residence, and as the location of the art department and studios. By 1971, the house was vacant. It remained vacant until at least the 1980s, but the college eventually restored the house, and it serves as the president's residence. Description The Hance House is a two-story brick structure on a stone foundation, with stone lintels over the windows and doorways. The roof is a low-pitched design, supported by carved bracketry. The front entrance is through a double door sheltered by a porch. A side entrance is sheltered by a similar porch, and both porches have bracketry similar to, but smaller than, those supporting the roof. References
